Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

It's a matter of supply and demand...

and 6J5's will never rise to the level of 6SN7's because NO commercial amps use them, and only a handful of DIY or small builder amps do.

Simple demand curve - but supply of 6J5's is a bit smaller. I figure the auction in question is simply one that got out of hand because of the metal base myth and a newbie.

6C5 I've never had luck with as every one I tried was hugely microphonic. I like the lower gain of the 6P5 and I agree is's a super tube.
